Altar of Storm
By Frédéric Meurin on Tuesday 3 April 2007, 09:48 - Decks - Permalink
Banning Tendrils of Agony made a void that many players wanted to fill in with new combos decks. This one is based on Myr Retriever sacrified on an Ashnod's Altar to generate infinite Storm count for a deadly Grapeshot.
2 Mountain
4 Great Furnace
4 Seat of the Synod
8 Island
4 Ashnod's Altar
4 Chromatic Sphere
4 Chromatic Star
4 Lotus Petal
4 Myr Retriever
3 Impulse
4 Brainstorm
4 Muddle the Mixture
1 Transmute Artifact
4 Grapeshot
4 Rite of Flame
Sideboard
4 Tremor
4 Red Elemental Blast
4 Annul
3 Blue Elemental Blast
For those who wonder, the five uncos are 4 Myr retriever and 1 Transmute artifact. Ashnod's altar was a common in Chronicles reprint.
As you can see, this is fully combo oriented. You have all you might need to draw (Brainstorm and Impulse), accelerate your mana (Rite of Flames, Lotus Petal, Sulfur Vents), do both at a time (Chromatic sphere and star), tutor anything (Muddle the mixture can fetch Transmute artifact that can fetch Ashnod's Altar). It's still need to be tested, tough, and as a theorical paperworks, some fixing might be needed - the manabase may be quite wrong.
Let me know what you think of it :)
